Inspiration in White Goes Pink!

With Valentine's Day around the corner I thought Inspiration in White this week should go PINK! I do love pale pink and it is of course a Shabby Chic favourite but I can not say I have any in my home....none, not one thing... which is too bad because there are so many great ways to use pink and to add that little bit of femininity to any space. Check it out..

 

 

Enjoy!

Shabby London Home

This home in London is so pretty and filled to the brim with shabby decor! There are many interesting corners in this house and not one is empty but decorated to the max with accessories....mirrors, frames, books, candle holders and plants....whew! I love the two living rooms that are attached and the family room that is adjacent to the kitchen. Lots of cozy couches in this house to curl up on!

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White: Olive Trees & Myrtles

I am not a person that has a lot of house plants in my home but I do love the look of olive trees and myrtles in decor. I am always finding photos that inspire me and they often have one of these plants in among the vintage decor. I do have a couple of myrtles in my home and since I find them so beautiful I thought I would share a few....

Enjoy!

Loving these: Cloches

My house is filled with different glass domes or cloche as we say in French and I really have a lot of fun with them. I put all sorts of things under them from shells to plants and old books and nests. 

This one below is from the table in the shop this past month and I had filled it with vintage silver. I set the table with my ceramics as well.

Beautifully done with the ink and quill.

Pretty with some sheet music rolled inside..

This from Atelier de Campagne. Go visit their Facebook page for great ideas..

  

I am considering buying some for the shop with some pretty wood or mercury glass stands like these below. What do you think?....Isn't the jewellery gorgeous as well??

 

Enjoy!

Interiors: Layers of Grey and White

I have posted about my love for grey before but it is a love affair that continues so I need to share again....grey is not only perfect in the home but I love to wear grey as well. I have so many grey sweaters that my closet looks frankly ridiculous. (does anyone need that many grey sweaters). Grey, black, beige and white....pretty much like my decor. I love the depth of grey and how mixing different greys can look in a room. It is like white in the way that layers of different whites in a room can have so much impact. Take a look at a few spaces layered in grey and a few grey outfits as well....

 Enjoy!

Elegantly Styled Loft

The loft of Wolfgang Behnken, creative director at Young & Rubicam, is a beautifully elegant space. Most rooms are very simple with minimal furnishings but nothing is done without thought. Each piece is part of his many collections that not only include furnishings but books and art as well. The library is full and disordered but he insists that he knows where each book is and that he can easily find what he is looking for...a true artist himself I think....

Enjoy!

Interior: Black and White

This beautiful fisherman's cottage, totally decorated in black and white, is currently owned by an interior designer and an architect. They took this once run down beauty and completely renovated inside and out and newly landscaped the surrounding land as well to take advantage of the garden as much as possible. New furnishings combine with antiques and found objects to create a warm and inviting home for this couple. I love the relaxed feeling in this home...simple, classic and a great place to invite family and friends...

Enjoy!

Antique Mixes with Modern Farmhouse

This 19th century farmhouse is owned by the interior designer Darryl Carter. Not only did he design all of the interiors but many of the individual pieces of furniture and lamps as well. A wonderful clean space all dressed in neutrals with a mix of modern, antiques and rustic farmhouse pieces the flow of each room works beautifully!

Enjoy!

Brown and Black Decor

Love the colouring in this brown, black and white home. The colour flows from one room to the other creating an environment that is easy on the eyes and makes a great statement. It features wonderful accessories with great cushions, artwork, and cool lamps. Very comfortable and livable..

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White - Cozy Spaces

It is so cold here in Montreal right now and we have two feet of snow in the front yard! I am sitting at my computer in a big cashmere sweater with my housecoat overtop trying to stay warm (yes we have a well heated home but there seems to be drafts everywhere!) All I can think about is getting into a cozy spot by the fire or under a blanket so I thought I would share with you a few cozy spaces that I like..

Enjoy!
